Ricky Ponting, one of cricket’s all-time greats and Australia’s leading run-scorer in Tests and ODIs, had a lesser-known passion for WWE legend The Undertaker.
Former teammate Jason Gillespie revealed that Ponting developed a superstition around a poster of The Undertaker, which he kept with him during matches, coinciding with several prolific innings.
This quirky ritual highlights the role of superstitions and personal talismans in cricket, alongside Ponting’s illustrious career as a player, captain, and now IPL coach of Punjab Kings.
